January 28

I begged.

I got nothing.

I desired.

I got something, next to nothing.

I aspired.

I got everything, even more.

When I begged, God said: "I have nothing to do with a beggar."

When I desired, God said: "I have little to do with you.

You don't want my Omnipresence, Omniscience and Omnipotence.

You want to be satisfied only with an infinitesimal portion of my Reality."

When I aspired, God said: "You are my chosen child.

You are my pride.

You want me fully.

You want my Existence, my Revelation and my Manifestation.
